Cantinadi di Casteggio Sangue di Guida

hink of flowers and sunshine and a medium sweet red wine, the '09 Cantina de Casteggio Sangue di Guida is simply beautiful and; ripe plummy flavors; great with fresh fruit.

Tasting notes

This is a reasonably-priced, sweet frizzante red that is packed with cola notes, crushed strawberries and raspberry sauce. What is even more appealing is the price compared to say, Lambrusco, or Brachetto, which can be somewhat delineating in comparison. My favorite sparkling red at this time. This is a sparkling Bonarda from Oltrepo Pavese in the Lombardy region of Italy that’s referred to as: The Blood of Judas, but do not worry, there is no deception here.
